C\u00e9line Dion<\/strong> is finding strength in her sons.<\/p>\n

In a new cover story for People<\/em><\/a>, C\u00e9line opened up about being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in August 2022, almost six years after her husband, Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil<\/strong>, died from throat cancer.<\/p>\n

She says she finds the strength to keep going in her three children \u2014 Ren\u00e9-Charles<\/strong>, Nelson<\/strong> and Eddy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I barely could walk at one point, and I was missing very much living. My kids started to notice. I was like, ‘Okay, they already lost a parent. I don’t want them to be scared,'” C\u00e9line said. “I let them know, ‘You lost your dad, [but] mom has a condition and it’s different. I’m not going to die. It’s something that I’m going to learn to live with.”<\/p>\n

C\u00e9line’s journey navigating the rare autoimmune and neurological disorder is shown in her new Prime Video documentary, I Am: Celine Dion<\/em>, which streams globally on June 25.<\/p>\n

In the trailer<\/a> for the doc, C\u00e9line opened up about how much she misses performing onstage.<\/p>\n

“I miss it so much. The people, I miss them,” C\u00e9line said. “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl … I won’t stop.”
